foreword Loyalty is certainly one of the noblest virtues man can possess. It is the end result of the deeper emotions and ideals of an indi- vidual which tends to Hnk him with someone or something. It is usually quiet, devoted, and in most cases, lasting. It is a wondrous thing, es- pecially so in these times of conflicting social forces. Each of us is loyal to something: church, country, family, friends, or self. Loyalty grows with us and binds us with invisible strands to the people and institutions we meet along life ' s way. Certainly, no one can leave the college of his choice without taking a part of it with him and leaving a part of himself behind, no matter how small. And no matter how far removed we may become in time or space those parts remain and are nurtured. We chose Elizabethtown College, and the College chose us. Let us hope that both parties show a fair profit from their association. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦

Jru5iee5 IN THE BASIC policies and plans of Eliza- bethtown College, the board of trustees is the guiding hand. From the first class of six students in 1900 to the present student body of nearly six hundred, the trustees have form- ed and shaped the fundamental principles of college action. Trustees also have the duty of seeing that the policies of the school today conform to the original wishes of the founders. They must be concerned with the aligning of pres- ent decisions with those set up in the charter while keeping in mind a concept of progress suitable for changing times. Especially in the growth and development of the college, both as a campus and as peo- ple, the trustees must draw up the final plans, arrange and organize the procedures, and coordinate all projects in connection with expansion. For the past few years, while the ten-year development plan has been in opera- tion, the duties of the trustees have been manifold. Trustees bring honor to a college; they determine its standing among people who know a college only through its policy- making body. A trustee must view a prob- lem from all angles — that of filling the prac- tical financial and material needs of the col- lege, that of upholding the ideals expressed in the college motto, educate for service.
